The main reason for version 4 of this series is that a bug was
introduced in version 3, and that is fixed.

But a nice note from Vladimir Oltean got me thinking about the
necessity of using accessors defined in <linux/bitfield.h>, and I
concluded there was no need.  So this version simplifies things
further, using bitwise AND and OR operators (rather than, e.g.,
u8_get_bits()) to access all values encoded in bit fields.

This version has been tested using IPv4 with checksum offload
enabled and disabled.  Traffic over the link included ICMP (ping),
UDP (iperf), and TCP (wget).

Version 3 of this series used BIT() rather than GENMASK() to define
single-bit masks, and bitwise AND operators to access them.

Version 2 fixed bugs in the way the value written into the header
was computed in version 1.

The series was first posted here:
